com.lowagie.text.pdf.Barcode128

public class Barcode128
extends Barcode

Implements the code 128 and UCC/EAN-128. Other symbologies are allowed in raw mode.

The code types allowed are:

• CODE128 - plain barcode 128.
• CODE128_UCC - support for UCC/EAN-128 with a full list of AI.
• CODE128_RAW - raw mode. The code attribute has the actual codes from 0 to 105 followed by '\uffff' and the human readable text.

The default parameters are:

 x = 0.8f;
 font = BaseFont.createFont("Helvetica", "winansi", false);
 size = 8;
 baseline = size;
 barHeight = size * 3;
 textAlignment = Element.ALIGN_CENTER;
 codeType = CODE128;

Constructor Detail

Barcode128

public Barcode128()

Creates new Barcode128

Method Detail

removeFNC1

public static String removeFNC1(String code)

Removes the FNC1 codes in the text.

Parameters:

code - the text to clean

Returns:

the cleaned text

getHumanReadableUCCEAN

public static String getHumanReadableUCCEAN(String code)

Gets the human readable text of a sequence of AI.

Parameters:

code - the text

Returns:

the human readable text

getRawText

public static String getRawText(String text,
                                boolean ucc)

Converts the human readable text to the characters needed to create a barcode. Some optimization is done to get the shortest code.

Parameters:

text - the text to convert

ucc - true if it is an UCC/EAN-128. In this case the character FNC1 is added

Returns:

the code ready to be fed to getBarsCode128Raw()

getBarsCode128Raw

public static byte[] getBarsCode128Raw(String text)

Generates the bars. The input has the actual barcodes, not the human readable text.

Parameters:

text - the barcode

Returns:

the bars

getBarcodeSize

public Rectangle getBarcodeSize()

Gets the maximum area that the barcode and the text, if any, will occupy. The lower left corner is always (0, 0).

Specified by:

getBarcodeSize in class Barcode

Returns:

the size the barcode occupies.

placeBarcode

public Rectangle placeBarcode(PdfContentByte cb,
                              Color barColor,
                              Color textColor)

Places the barcode in a PdfContentByte. The barcode is always placed at coordinates (0, 0). Use the translation matrix to move it elsewhere.

The bars and text are written in the following colors:

barColor	textColor	Result
null	null	bars and text painted with current fill color
barColor	null	bars and text painted with barColor
null	textColor	bars painted with current color text painted with textColor
barColor	textColor	bars painted with barColor text painted with textColor

Specified by:

placeBarcode in class Barcode

Parameters:

cb - the PdfContentByte where the barcode will be placed

barColor - the color of the bars. It can be null

textColor - the color of the text. It can be null

Returns:

the dimensions the barcode occupies

createAwtImage

public Image createAwtImage(Color foreground,
                            Color background)

Creates a java.awt.Image. This image only contains the bars without any text.

Specified by:

createAwtImage in class Barcode

Parameters:

foreground - the color of the bars

background - the color of the background

Returns:

the image

setCode

public void setCode(String code)

Sets the code to generate. If it's an UCC code and starts with '(' it will be split by the AI. This code in UCC mode is valid:

(01)00000090311314(10)ABC123(15)060916

Overrides:

setCode in class Barcode

Parameters:

code - the code to generate
